While My (Isolated) Guitar Gently Weeps | Fab forum

Thank you for posting this.

My opinion is – except for the acoustic guitar track segment performed by George at the beginning, the rest of the track is a single electric guitar part performed by Eric Clapton (with what sounds like occasional monitor bleed of the vocal and piano tracks).

The chords too I think are also Clapton – he sounds like he's playing them during the vocal sections. I've done that before and seen guitarists do this when overdubbing solo guitar tracks in the recording studio. That is, just play along with the song and think of things to play when called for; the assumption being that the producer can pick and choose what they want and discard the rest. Sounds great – wish I was that good.

While not on this particular You Tube track- at the very end of the song which is an additional electric guitar part (vibrato notes between high C and D I think) in the final mix – probably recorded at a different time on a different track.
